Hi everyone,
New member here.
I've been an avid reader of SB (alongside Yorkshire Divers - RIP) for many years now, and I've learned quite a lot through the many discussions and stories shared by this ever growing community. Although members might not always agree (a bit of a euphemism), I've always found the discussions (even heated ones) to be valuable, and I thank you all for the many years of insightful (and at times) rather whimsical scuba-related reading material.
I've decided to join the community for I would like to get the occasional advice and at times share my two cents on certain topics I might have some knowledge on.
About me as a diver, I've had my first plunge in 1995 and never looked back.
After getting my CMAS 4* in 1999, I have tried to dive as often as studies and work would allow, but have never gone pro.
I have no precise idea how many dives I've accumulated over the past 20 years, but I reckon that number should be around the 500ish mark.
I have done some Tech diving here and there (nothing too hardcore) and have always been interested in Cave, so after a long hiatus I took the GUE Fundamentals - Tech in 2012. I'm still contemplating whether to proceed to GUE Cave 1/2 or go the TDI route.
Most of my diving has been / is recreational, single tank, with a BP/W long hose configuration.
Voila~
I hope to get to know some of you better and share valuable insight (and a few laughs too!) on that glorious addiction we all share here: diving!
Cheers~
